- - Icy, wien the officer in
@o;ne1a4d rode up out of the woods
whero his nice broad cloth uniform
mad received many rents in tile chase
after me.
II am glad you have he said.
"What do with him Lieutenan mt ?'
then 1 was chilled.
WHO is he and what made him
run :" said the Lieutenant eyeing me
and no doubt thinking he had put
himself to trouble to catch a
mere boy when "a rather expected
twas some rebel officer on furlough or
Guerilla chief that he was after.
ooh! he is the old miller's son
but what made him run, we have not
yet been able to find out. y
what made you run, little man?
said the Lieutenant to me kindly-"I
feared your men would take my po-
ny from me-" 1 replied.
They now carried me to the fork of
the road where many citizens had as
sembled and among them my father.
They had seen the Yankees rushin g
up and down the road as if wild and
curiosity led ii 2 most of them there.

They knew [ had not returned home,
and knowing l would run before

and s ,tiy that | was the cause of tbs
comm otion. They had not more than
reached the fork before they saw the
Yankees coming down the p road
with me in their midst Th.ir worst
fears were then realized. My father
beng known as a strong southern
man, had no influence with them
whatever; but Mr.. p who knew all
the ''6 falCes" that were along and
Icing very much inclined that way
himself had considerable inhuen ce
over them and interceded in my be-
half He was aware of my good in.
misunderstanding l had been sent
on an errand by my father and was
returning with him, but stopped Oh
the road to see the in6rm old lady
DC, &c, all of which he explained t.
them. So they concluded t. relesst
me and my pony too, as it was oC
light for their service. They caution
ed me never to run from them agai,
as something more serious might hap
pen to me.
Thanking the officer, 1 gladly join
ed my father and the now assembled
Yankees passed on over the bridge
BY this time | had forgotten al
about my being a Major General, &c.
&c,
Mr.. p. restored me my willow sciol
and | planted it that day in my moth

sized tree and whenever | looked at i
| was reminded of the day | ran from
the Yankees.

rivulet that starts in the mountains
above, and sings its wayto the sea but
will furnish power to set in motion

SOMETHING NEW
| overheard Col. J. L. Morehead
say: "Jf the r. d d. does not build
the Winston WIkesboro r. r. the c..
F. &; Y. Y. aoiH build q branch from
Winston to some point along its line, as
Germa,.ton, or Walnm Coue"
Exactly what we may expect from
that, [ do not know. Latest telegrams
from Col Andrews announce the fact
that within the week, the Tay ylorsville
branch road force will commence
work on the Winston Wilkesboro
road. Whether this road is built or
not, Winston people would be glad to
have a connection with the G. F. e Y
", at some point in Stokes county.
Mr. Nick" Dalton, who is the pre-
siding genius of the place, owning the
entire town, the hotel, the store and
livery stable containing about thir-
ty horses has already laid off the town
in lots and is inviting immigration.
He is now selling lots al from S25 up
to 500. Mr. j. G. Buxton bought a
lot, close to the tepot for 800 and
several gentlemen from Greensboro
are contemplating investments.
These are good kindly people
and are far from uaprogressive, both
materially and educationally. The
Dalton Institute is conducted by Prof
w. A. Flynt, a scholarly graduate OF
Trinity College, and here the young

In our advertisement we make no random state
ments. When we say that the He-No-Tea now
being sold by all grocers is very f1ne tea at a
very moderate price, We mean exactly what we
say. Some persons wisely ask; ''Why is IL sold at
so low pr1ce?" The reply is: "For two reasons.
First IL Is sold at less wholesale and retail pront
than any other fine tea on the market: and, sec
ond because 1t has no useless expense OF coloring
or polishing 10 make IL look NICE
